Dear Fritz,


Make a search on Google or Wikipedia of the kind
<Greek modal particle> and you will get a big variety

of the items, some with the reference to research

works. You can do the same  interchanging the name of

language in the search. Yes, as far as I know most of

ancient languages of various families had this kind of particles

or acquired them in the process of language contacts. Both

the number and the character (modal meaning) of these particles

varies in different languages and create definite problems

for translators. For example, most of Russian translations from

classical Greek tend to ignore such particles. In different

languages of the same genetic group there is completely

different situation in relation to modal particles. E.g. they are

relatively abundant in Greek, Arabic and Amharic, but almost

non existent in Latin, Hebrew and Aramaic.


Thank you for Bavarian picture.

P.S. I attach one of my latest articles published in Hamburg 

I have in electronic copy only pre-publication text, but the

book already appeared in Baar Verlag.

  Here you can find good examples of how in English the function of German modal particles can be expressed:

  Do you know of any studies on shading particles (modal particles) in English, French, Spanish and biblical Hebrew and Greek ?
  German has more of them than many other languages in which the function of these particles is expressed by other pragmatic means.
